"I want him to win everything he's ever up for," the singer says. "He's one of my favorite people on the planet. And he's so talented and he's worked so hard for it."

"I think he would have amazing acceptance speeches. We toured together all year and I watched him every single night. He was just such a show-stopper."

"It was so amazing to watch him work and to watch him put together his new record, which is going to be great," Swift says. "Whether or not he wins Best New Artist, I think people are going to be so blown away by what comes next from him."

the rest @ srcidc about ed besides the whole "how the fuck he's still a newcomer" thing BUT DID YOU HEAR SHE'S PERFORMING ALL TOO WELL

The Grammys basically released a statement saying that the previous nomination rule for Best New Artist only applies if you were nominated as a performer. Song of the Year awards the songwriters, and Ed just so happens to write his own music so therefore he received the nomination for that but it wasn't as a performer, it was as a songwriter. Therefore he's still technically eligible.

whoa james blake is nominated?? had no clue! sorry kendrick it was a tie but that nasally sound you make makes me root for james now. also always gotta support non-american artists to fight xenophobia demonstrated by most american awards

This is one of her best songs, praying that she hits the high notes (that's pitched in the studio lets be reaaaal). I think she might actually get her second AOTY because Macklemore and Kendrick will split the hip hop urban vote tbh. I love Red sfm, but it won't be deserved at all because I'm gonna need a lot more maturity and progression in her music to merit a second one after her first win was due to safe voting from the academy tbh
